Hi all, I've been living with Hypersomnia for the past two years and it's been pretty rough going. If I let myself I sleep for 14 hours or more a day. I think it was brought on by this high dosage of neurontin i was put on. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and found a way to treat it. so far i've tried switching my medication that i'm on (xyprexa and lithium) but changing these meds has not helped me.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Has your Sleep REM been studied? I slept off and on like that or close to it, since about 10 and I'm over 50. As I got older, I would go days without sleep then sleep for 12 to 20 hours. Finally 3 night studies and a MLST (day study) found my answers. I was told by others," oh, you had never been tested before? "So, now I put the info out and never assume someone has been tested. It has made a major change in my life. Just making sure to get the right study center can make a huge difference too.
I haven't been to the sleep clinic lately either. Maybe I should go. The biggest problem is that I sleep so much that I sleep right through the day till 6pm and miss out on being able to take care of this. that is the biggest problem, it eats all my time, unless i want to go the hospital in the night...
